32-Hour Site Safety Training (SST) for Supervisors

Per Local Law 196, construction and demolition supervisors at most NYC jobsites currently need 62 total hours of SST and an SST Supervisor card.

You need an SST card if you are a:

• Site Safety Manager
• Site Safety Coordinator
• Concrete Safety Manager
• Construction Superintendent
• Competent Person

Without a valid SST Supervisor card, you will not be permitted to enter any NYC jobsite with a Site Safety Plan. For an up-to-date list of all NYC jobsites where SST cards are required, see the DOB Site Safety Construction map. If your jobsite is listed on the map, you must have an SST card on site.

If you haven't completed 30-hour OSHA training, or if your OSHA card was issued more than five years ago, you will need to take a 30-hour OSHA Outreach course for construction to qualify for your SST card. Supervisors who need to complete both OSHA training and SST can fully satisfy DOB requirements for an SST card with 62-Hour SST for Supervisors.

Yes. We accept course certificates from any DOB-approved course provider. To earn SST credit, you must have completed the course within the past five years. If you have already started your training, you can purchase the SST courses you need individually.

The DOB also provides SST credit for certain Department-approved courses. See the DOB's guide to SST course equivalents for more information.
